.DISCUSSION...
Relatively warm and somewhat unstable conditions will allow for
the development of isolated to scattered showers across much of
inland Southcentral this afternoon/evening. There`s an off chance
of a lightning strike or two, especially in the northern Copper
Basin and Susitna Valley where the greatest shower coverage is
expected, but overall probability remains low. RHs will be at a
minimum this afternoon, in the 35-45 percent range across much of
the inland lower elevations, with the exception of the western
Kenai Peninsula, which remains cooler and more moist.
Heading into the week, precipitation will primarily be focused in
the Copper River Basin as a series of troughs propagate into the
area from the east, bringing wetting rains to much of the basin
and adjacent mountains through Tuesday. RHs generally trend upward
across Southcentral for Monday and Tuesday with the succession of
easterly waves.
